Apple’s fiscal third quarter results were a head-turner and showcased outperformance with the iPhone and Greater China sales, through we note that tariff-related headwinds will impact the firm’s cost structure and possibly its product pricing strategy in the months ahead. The Street is also anxious when it comes to Apple’s strategy in artificial intelligence, where it is spending much less in this area than its Magnificent 7 brethren, as well as the sustainability of its current revenue share agreement with Google. The magnitude of risks is growing to the Apple story, but we still like shares in the newsletter portfolios given its strong underlying performance, robust cash flow generation and superb balance sheet. Our fair value estimate stands at $235 per share.

Meta Platforms Issues Third Quarter Revenue Guidance Well Above Consensus

Image: Meta’s free cash flow remains robust despite higher capital spending.
Looking to the third quarter of 2025, Meta Platforms expects revenue to be in the range of $47.5-$50.5 billion (consensus was $44.8 billion), revealing sequential growth at the midpoint relative to second quarter numbers. The company’s guidance assumes a 1% tailwind to revenue growth from foreign currency, based on current exchange rates. Meta fell short of providing an outlook for fourth quarter revenue, but it noted that its year-over-year growth rate for the quarter will be slower than the third quarter as it laps a period of stronger growth in the fourth quarter of last year. Though Meta is not a large dividend payer, we think its dividend growth prospects are fantastic.

Looking to fiscal 2026, Microsoft expects to deliver another year of double-digit revenue and operating income growth. Management noted that it “will continue to invest against the expansive opportunity ahead across both capital expenditures and operating expenses given (its) leadership position in commercial cloud, strong demand signals for (its) cloud and AI offerings, and significant contracted backlog.” Capital expenditures are expected to be over $30 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Microsoft is firing on all cylinders, and we continue to like the idea in the newsletter portfolios.
